Now granted, there are exceptions to the rule, but they will be rare.

You're right about the cloning tanks of course, though I personally try not to abuse them in such a manner which is why I didn't think about them when making my posts.

Cyan, in my understanding, is an exception rather than the rule when it comes to the coloured henchmen.

Since there seemed to be heavy misunderstanding of the tone of the conversation (when yelling I use exclamation points and larger text, the never was just heavy emphasis) and characters were reacting differently because of it, perhaps we need to change things? I'd also rather not destroy a character concept if I can help it, which I realize now is something I might have done. That doesn't sit well with me.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.

I concur. The old cloning tanks were a little ridiculous.

So, Cyan isn't the henchpeople's poster boy? I wasn't aware. >.<

I don't mind either way. Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, bud, and I'll adjust accordingly. I might drop some text off of my second post after Roxanne gets hit, but Ilph did backhand her, insult her, and advocate blindly stumbling behind the leader, so I really don't see that changing much as is. The first post would be something along the lines of "In the future, kindly keep your hands to yourself." substituted for the never again touch me dialogue. A fight will probably break out if Ilph ignores this request and harms Roxanne again, in that Roxanne will physically retaliate.

If the line alteration won't change Ilph's response, the scene likely isn't worth rewriting and we might as well move on. You aren't destroying a character concept. I'd just have to figure out where to station her next. Even if she failed as a member of AMEN, that doesn't mean she's done. Things don't always work out, and even if she failed in that regard, I'd redesign her and move on.

I've been planning something big for awhile now, and she's a part of it, so I wouldn't stop playing her. If anything, I'd have her head to the "Sistine Chapel" once it is acquired onscreen and oversee the funding of the cultist killers I'm taking on. The prominence of the vigilante groups in Riverside motivated me to isolate five PCs I'm running, tweak them ever so slightly, and redeploy them as members of a secret society that kills cultists, among other things.

I'll cut your throat and drain whatever blood you have roach. He'll try and push Magtok up the wall by his throat. He's in some kind of rage.

Hey Noodle? Magtok and Jeanne specifically chose a table in the center of the bar - possibly the only patrons in the history of Trog's not to sit at the bar or in a Shadowy CornerTM. So there isn't really a wall nearby to try to pin "Pumpkin" to. Can I trouble you for an edit?

Oh, sure! He'll be getting there this turn.

Would this be my humanist cult your targeting? Or some other cult? Or any cult?

At any rate, my human supremacists are there to be enemies and to get killed, but I tend to play waaaay below the power level where you tend to play, so go easy on me! I don't want them to be wiped out too easily, and like any main boss character, I want Starling to continue to slither away from ultimate defeat until the end game.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.

Speaking of your humanists, would any of them have found out that Maeve shares her house/has been going to movies and such with a catgirl, who she appears to be rather close to?

The cultist killers aren't terminating any PC cults as of yet. Unless someone wants them to go after PC cults! They're largely taking down cults that I've dreamed up and never written about before, so impact on PCs will be kept to a minimum. To some extent, that is.

I'm thinking of the clashes between the cult killers and the cultists being very public. Like as a debut, I was debating sending them into Trog's to execute a cultist hiding in the public eye, once all the commotion has settled down in that thread.

So, do you want anti-human supremacists to war with, HT? I could use this cultist killing group or another composed of alien supremacists or something like that, if you'd like.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.

No. I wouldn't pull that on you without roleplaying it out, such as having them trail her back home. I sometimes have my PCs know things about other PCs that they didn't learn onscreen, but I try to limit it to fairly public information - such as Tito knowing that Reinholdt is a treasure hunter. If a character is trying to keep something secret, then I think it should be presumed secret until roleplayed otherwise.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.

Makes sense. Let me know if you want to at some point, then.

Fair enough.

Also, speaking of Alexandrian, I believe it's their turn to post in the Old Hermitage?

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.

First of all, I'll post in CURATOR later today. I've been running the plots there weird, and now that I have free time again, and Rein's plot is nearly done (Two more rooms! Hang in there!), I'm going to see about changing things up and hopefully revive the spirit of the org! Because I won't sugar coat it. I've been a hideous dm. And I have no excuse for that. So that is my mid-year's resolution. Devote more time to FFRP and quit dragging things out for months. Three or four weeks is the new target! Probably won't work but, meh, I'm giving a go anyhow!

Also need to update the OP. Really need to update the OP.

But dragon babies?

Oh! Yeah! That thing! Right!

I thought you were going to rp the dragon? If you aren't, I could try it. I don't know much about dragons, though, so the dragon might be strange.

And as for the Dalachrechian plots...

I'll certainly post for those today probably as soon as Earl's online light is green. Problem is, I don't remember what I was doing there, so the next order of business for me when I get a spare second is to review, review, review!

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.

You were trying to set healing potions on fire, and had also gotten into the probably-pointless position of discussing ethics with someone who rearranges her identity and worldview to whatever keeps them alive and happy in their current situation.

Oops. You ninjad me while I was answering C'nor.

Currently I'm not actively seeking antagonists for the Humanists, as they're still building up. But if people go after them, for being speciesist jerks, I'm not going to say no. I'm pretty much just making everything up as I go along.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.

Folks: Out of curiosity, have there been any Sangheili (Elites from Halo) characters in the past? Just wondering if there was any kind of bloc (if that's the proper word) for Halo races, specifically the elites.
EDIT: This handsome fellow.

Re: [Nexus] OoC 34: If it exists, we have role-played it. No exceptions.

Sylvia is going to a sermon in the Underside Temple. Also attending are three people from the surface whom will be sitting in the pews- Kail, Terrowin's girlfriend, her half-demonic son, and her temporary bodyguard, Omid of the Riverside Temple

Also, Terrowin thinks it was WATCHTOWER that attacked the Hermitage, but doesn't know for certain; a long time ago, Elezibethele went on a quest with Wenomir to Hell. I can't remember why, I just know Terrowin took her along as an interpreter; her Infernal is better than his. What he doesn't know is who else was along, or if it was an official WATCHTOWER mission or not, and he hopes to find out.

I have a point!

Righty has a bunch, but they're part of one of his other factions, and he's hardly ever on anyway, so I don't think so, no.

@Falgorn: There indeed have been. Grunts as well. However, they were played by Blackout who I have not seen post for them in quite some time (see: 2-3 years). As such, I would suspect that there aren't going to be many PC ones in the Nexus at the moment.

It was a quest to rescue Wenomir. One of my early attempts to run a plot. KR and DC were there too.
